Life begins at the end of your comfort zone.
I have a pattern of slipping in and out of my comfort zones. I bet you do too. Then every once in a while God challenges me to step out of a comfort zone, usually one I didn’t even know existed until I am feeling uncomfortable.
Stepping out of my comfort zones:
– is hard and takes work.
– is exhausting because it is hard and takes work.
– is scary because it is unknown – I don’t know the outcome.
God calls me to step out of my comfort zones:
– to grow me because I asked Him to.
– because miracles happen outside comfort zones.
– to call me out of ordinary living and into extraordinary abundant life with Him.
Years ago, I prayed a prayer that sounded something like, “I won’t hold anything back. I will obey and use every gift I have and even the ones I think aren’t good enough. You call, I will come. You say the word, I will obey. Use me however you wish, I won’t argue with You.”
Is God calling you to step out of a comfort zone today?
Is He challenging you to a new level of surrender and courage?
Is He is calling you to trust and depend on Him in a new way?
“Come,” Jesus said. “So Peter got out of the boat. He walked on the water toward Jesus.” Matthew 14:29 (NIRV)
Say yes.
Get out of your comfort today and do something impossible with God.
